(sakit di ba?)<br /><br />madalas bang nananalo ang mecha o armor?.. oo, talaga naman. pero hindi ibig sabihin eh minamaliit namin ang hindi naka-mecha o armor. costume maker kami, marunong kaming mag-appreciate ng details. di lang kami expressive. kung anong appreciation ang natatanggap ng mga non-mecha, ganun din sa amin. mas visible lang kami, kasi malalaki kami. pero parehas lang yun.<br /><br />pansinin nyo rin po un effort namin, kahit papaano may improvement naman, kung natatagalan kayo eh, pasensya na ulit. kami yung gumagawa, tumitingin lang kayo. kunsabagay, mas madali humusga kesa mag-appreciate.<br /><br />hindi na raw hobby ang cosplay?.. oo at hindi. negosyo nga ito para sa iba eh. kung hobby sa iyo eh good for you. pero huwag husgahan yung mga taong ginagawang negosyo ito. we need to survive. kumakain din kami, sayang din naman skills namin di ba?<br /><br />mga nagpapagawa ng costume? eh anong paki natin dun, pera nila yun eh!... sigurado naman kung marunong silang gumawa eh hindi naman sila magpapagawa di ba? kahit sabihin nyong pwedeng pag-aralan, eh hindi rin ganun kadali yun. (sa salita lang madali yun!)<br /><br />cooking show? pwedeng meron, pwedeng kakilala yun judge, kagrupo o ka-team sa pokemon go. di ko kayo masisisi, wala naman natatalo eh. normal ang disappointment pag natalo ka. pero ung kumuha ka ng simpatiya sa facebook na wala ka namang pruweba eh ibang usapan na yun. ilagay nyo rin un sarili nyo sa posisyon ng nanalo at sabihing kaya ka nanalo eh dahil luto o kakilala mo yun judge. (sakit di ba?)<br /><br />give chance to others, sabi nyo. pero di naman namin sila pinipigilan sumali. pero wag nyo naman kami pigilan din. gawin nyo kaming challenge to improve your craft. we are here din naman para tumulong kahit advice lang. lapit lang, wag mahiya. di kami nangangagat.<br /><br />nagsimula rin kami na takot sumali dahil magagaling ang kalaban, pero its your choice kung sasali kayo o hindi. pero huwag nyo naman kami sisihin dahil ayaw nyong makipagsabayan. <br /><br />welcome kayo sa competition, walang nagbabawal. subukan nyo, malalaman nyo ang pakiramdam ng natatalo at nananalo. <br /><br />instead of "giving chance to others", why not join us to compete and be competitive. its all worth it. subukan nyo rin.<br /><br />and pahabol. hindi po kami ang sumisira sa cosplay kundi ang negatibong pananaw ng mga taong tumitingin dito.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002972398537962793.post-12300780618707247142016-08-31T02:01:47.859+08:002016-08-31T02:01:47.859+08:00Well said. =)Well said. =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408114720387324538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002972398537962793.post-86837152322337796802016-08-30T23:44:11.283+08:002016-08-30T23:44:11.283+08:00What defines a cosplayer?

Is it the competition and winning said competitions?<br /><br />To tell you the truth our family shuns from competing. 2 years ago we have decided to not compete in any competitions save for maybe small ones for the kids so they can learn the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship. Does that make us lesser cosplayers?<br /><br />We cosplay because it's a hobby first and foremost. My wife and kids share this same passion and it bonds us together whenever we cosplay in an event. What we enjoy most is mingling with the con-goers and accommodating their requests for pics. We allow them to wear our masks or hold our weapons during the shoot so they can better understand what it feels like. We enjoy going to charity events. We enjoy mingling with our fellow cosplayers.<br /><br />What we do not enjoy are the numerous issues some have with certain individuals or group. But we do not allow that to affect our passion. We just bring out the popcorn and sodas and read the comment sections. :D Sometimes when the issue affects us, we participate in the discussion, giving our insights and opinions but nothing more.<br /><br />Are we burnt out? Heck no! As a matter of fact, we are planning our next family cosplay theme right now. Are we upset with the countless issues in the community? Not really, as a matter of fact we enjoy being observers in some of the heated debates. Are we frustrated with the ins and outs of competitions? Why should we be when we don't even compete. <br /><br />Regardless of what people say or whether cosplay in the mainstream has already lost its luster, we couldn't careless, because WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE DOING WHAT WE WANT TO DO FOR AS LONG AS WE WANT TO DO IT.<br /><br />THAT IS WHAT COSPLAY IS TO US.Prokeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866054857045467615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002972398537962793.post-21525847605675482602016-08-30T20:00:44.365+08:002016-08-30T20:00:44.365+08:00I do not see that article as faulty.
